A new compound created by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis successfully cures bacterial infections in mice, including those that can cause uncommon but potentially deadly “flesh-eating” disorders. The medicine in question has the potential to be the first in a completely new class of antibiotics, which […]

Although macrophages are widely recognized for their participation during the acute phase of respiratory viral infections, less is known about their activity during the post-inflammatory phase.
Numerous treatments are being developed to target the genes causing the more than 100 epilepsies that have been linked to a single gene mutation.
The results underline the necessity for widespread surveillance as well as the discovery of new SARS-CoV-2 mutations in animals.
During the process of embryonic development, hundreds of specialized cells known as myoblasts fuse to become skeletal muscles.
Six out of eleven nonhuman primates who received an inoculation against the 1918 flu virus, which was prevalent a century ago, reportedly withstood exposure to H5N1, one of the worst viruses now circulating in the globe. On the other hand, six uninfected monkeys in the control group that were infected with the H5N1 virus died from the illness.
Researchers can now discern orientation and other minute characteristics in the nanostructures of biological systems that were previously unseen thanks to a new imaging technology developed by the Lew lab.
Every year, hundreds of individuals are killed by cobra venom, and an estimated 100,000 more suffer severe injuries from necrosis, which is the loss of bodily tissue and cells and can result in amputation.
This new study offers a broadly useful technique to improve nanobodies’ performance. Artificially created antibody fragments, known as nanobodies, are around 10 times smaller than regular antibodies.
The protein dystrophin, absent in people with muscular dystrophy, will subsequently begin to be produced by the additional genetic code.
